Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Smartphone, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://smartphone-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.

I see what you mean. Image-wise, why take a 2/3" sensor when you can get an APS-C for less?

I was looking for some stopping point in between a cheaper cam that does video but has a tiny sensor and a pro cam with a nice sensor and no video. (Also nice to have a versatile lens without having to spend more $$$, but that's gravy.)

To travel around and take nice shots and video, I guess you really need to bring two devices, or compromise your photography... :(

I'm a travel fan too. Unfortunately, I'm obliged to take two devices: an SLR and a camcorder to my journeys. Maybe it's better (and cheaper) to buy a compact such as a Canon Powershot with a good movie mode as a second camera.

HiYour blog is very nice and good to see a different opinion about SLRs when everywhere else you get to hear Nikon or Canon bragging only!I am in the hunt for a good SLR with very image quality and low-light handling. I do'nt want to spend so much on lenses, but i would like to to have a good wide angle lens and a macro lens. Which system would you suggest for this ?

I am considering the following

Pentax K200D Canon XTiNikon D40/xSony A200Oly E-510

Out of this if i want to put together a good system in a cost efficient way, which one would be the better choice.

To anonymousThanks for your reply. I was thinking about the Sony A700 (instead of my A100), however, the Pentax K20D looks much interesting. As for Nikon and Canon, the Nikon D300 is an excellent, but a little expensive; the Canon 40D...I don't now. Now I'm thinking about Pentax.

You have an awesome blog. Not all dry and humorless like the professional sites. I just wanted to say that I bought a K200D yesterday after finding very little to go on, other than your site, and you're spot on with everything. Compared to the beating the K10/100 took in the press, the noise levels on this camera are right up there with my roomie's XTi. Thanks again!
